Patience is a virtue that is much needed in the society and culture that you live in. People want everything to be instant. This is not how I want My people to respond to life. You must represent Me and My Kingdom way of doing things. You must listen for My voice for there is a time and a season for everything under the sun.
Sometimes I am wanting to release mercy towards others through you. Are you willing to let go of your agenda and let Me have My way? For you are to be a model of servanthood, giving up your own rights in order to accomplish My purposes. Turn to Me and ask what I am doing in a situation. Then ask Me for grace to endure with patience and longsuffering.
Be patient, for surely you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength to overcome. Always remember that patience is a fruit of the Spirit which develops in a yielded life that is committed to love.
Ecclesiastes 7:8 Amplified Bible (AMP)
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit (pride).
